Environmental, Social and Governance

Governance of sustainability in Sallaum Lines is anchored in the Board of Directors (Global Sustainability Committee) and the Executive Leadership Team. Under their oversight, our sustainability governance and integration approach secures executive ownership of sustainability and involvement in setting priorities and driving implementation. In addition, we have an integrated approach regarding strategy, perfor­mance, planning, and risk management. In 2021, we revised the governance structure on decarbonising logistics to accelerate our efforts. This includes:

  • An expanded steering committee with an executive member serving as an accountable decision-making forum and supported by a broader decarbonisa­tion advisory group.
  • Prepared work plans and strategies.
  • Ensured alignment across the company.

The advisory group has defined a set of workstreams covering commercialisa­tion, energy efficiency, fleet and network, retrofitting, new fuels, sourcing, and framework conditions.By 2045, we envision our ships fully powered by renewable energy sources.
